According to my narrow understanding of failure and success, I considered all photos from that night as unuseable and lesson to myself. To work with a new camera made me feel excited for weeks, just stupid to not setup the camera format from jpeg to raw – because one is a compressed format with low post possessing options while the raw format gives you all freedom to readjust your settings afterwards, especially the necessary whitebalance which is shifted into red due to the modification. Applause.
One year later, I realized the actual beauty of these Images and the great advantage of making mistakes in Photography. Somewhen, I started to play around with the settings of these very „uneditable“ files. The shift of colours remained, but the strange looking results became more beautiful and I started to like that style. Damn, now this is a lesson… I edited these images to get a solid natural looking foreground and the weird color mix of the sky wasn’t just in my responsibility. It’s just jpeg.
During that first night at Tenerife, in the Caldera de las Cañadas, I was haphazardly lost by the amount of possible photo compositions, but in the end I got attracted by a nice looking rock at the Minas de San José and used this as main subject for the night.
Furthermore, I released a Photography Documentary about Astrophotography at the Teide National Park in Tenerife including a Photo Series of tracked Milky Way Panos:
